Melicertes

As usual, Hera was pissed. Ino and her man Athamas had raised that no good bastard drunken son of Zeus, Dionysus, without her being able to so much as smite him. So naturally, she had to drive Athamas mad and come after Ino.

Now, Ino had a young son, Melicertes. Suddenly fatherless, Melicertes was as suddenly scooped up by his ma and became airborne, flung by and with her over the side of a seaside cliff.

The resulting impact upon the water turned mother and son into goddess (Leucothea) and god (Palaemon). Together they found themseles worshipped as sea gods. Palaemon (nee Melicertes) rode fishback in order to rescue drowning sailors.
